Cyberbullying and student diversity: An inclusive lens for schools

Chrissie Butler (CORE Education) and John Fenaughty (UNiversity of Auckland) discuss changes in understandings of bullying and cyberbullying and explore how schools can take a more inclusive approach to supporting the wellbeing of all students.

As 1:1 technologies and BYOD become more prevalent in schools, evaluating school-wide approaches to support students’ wellbeing becomes imperative and a wonderful opportunity to enhance inclusive practice.

Discussion areas include:

student identity and internet

cyberbullying is bullying, there’s no distinction

student diversity, unfamiliar perspectives and bullying

resources and approaches to support all students in their digital citizenship
